    Has anyone ever done a Steak Day but not on the following day after? I ask because I will be away for Thanksgiving and we aren't coming back until Saturday. I'll be at someone else's home so to say I need to do a 'steak day' vs. the Thanksgiving leftovers like everyone else as well as commandeering someone elses kitchen would be somewhat in poor taste so I was planning on doing a steak day if necessary on Saturday when I get back. Let me know. I'll be a week into P4 and have yet to have to do one. I'm 1.2 lbs under LIW so I'm only being precautionary, hopefully one day of careful eating won't take me up 3.2 lbs but just in case...

    Caramellady, instead of a steak day, you can just do a high protein day. Eat eggs for breakfast, then only eat turkey all day long...of which I bet there will be plenty!!! It's not quite as good as a steak day, but should work well for you if you gained alittle on Thanksgiving. good luck, enjoy your holiday and friends. Let us know how it goes :))

    My sister was steadily gaining every day when she started to go on p3. After 4 days, I convinced her to do a steak day, and she got back to her liw. So for her doing it later worked. We knew that she couldn't have gained 4 pounds of fat back in 4 days when she wasn't eating that much to begin with, it had to be water.

    And just take it easy on Thanksgiving! Don't indulge in all those treats. Load up on turkey and vegetables and go light on any desserts. :-) Don't assume you'll need a steak day because it gives you permission to go hog wild!

    Thanks guys. I hadn't planned on overindulging but I've been real careful to limit sweets and sugars so just thinking ahead that having maybe a whole slice of cake vs. the random hershey kiss here or there may be an actual shock to my system at this stage especially coupled with any other starch I may eat (making my 4 cheese mac & cheese) so just want to prepare myself for the possibility that exists.

    I would not try a full slice of cake on a day when I can't plan for a steak day though. That's the issue. Just be wise about it. :-)
